Pater Familias

"Men will take up arms and even sacrifice their lives for the sake of this love….when harmony prevails, the children are raised well, the household is kept in order, and neighbors, friends, and relatives praise the result. Great benefits, both of families and states, are thus produced. When it is otherwise, however, everything is thrown into confusion and turned upside-down.” --St. John Chrysostom

About Me

My photo
Paul
I am a happily married 44 year old Catholic father of three. I am not a professional Catholic. I am not an author. I am just an ordinary guy trying to get his family to Heaven, and leaving some breadcrumbs along the way. "I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone." --St. Francis of Assisi
